LG's new bending 'glass' might make your next folding phone a lot more durable

LG doesn't make folding phones, but it might make folding phones stronger

LG may have made an ignoble exit from the smartphone market earlier this year, but as a gigantic international megacorp, it still has its hand in. LG Chem, the branch of the company that developers new materials and energy systems, has something that might turn the eye of their in-country rivals at Samsung: a new material that can bend like plastic while being hard as glass.

GSMArena spotted the press release from LG Chem, which says that the display cover is as hard as standard glass while delivering the flexibility needed by folding displays (which are still made out of largely plastic).
